About our hog roast hire in Flexford
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are hog roast rolls, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and clubhouse events.

Common questions in Flexford
Is Flexford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Flexford?
Wanborough station, in Flexford itself.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Is all of Surrey covered?
We cater across Surrey. Get in touch for a price.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Flexford hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evenings in Flexford stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
